We are probably close to the point where very few people are left who remember seeing Cobb, In addition of course to retaining long-term memory, I think you would have had to be maybe 7 or 8 at the time to truly remember (his last year was 1928), so born 1920 or 1921. Ruth played through 1935, so probably quite a few folks left in their late 90s who recall seeing him play. That's pretty amazing to me.
